Before you start, make sure that it’s a sunny and dry day as rain or windy weather can cool down the boiling water, making it less effective. Then, simply sprinkle a generous amount of bicarbonate of soda on the weeds, and boil the kettle.
Carefully take the kettle outside and pour it directly onto the weed. Note: Don’t splash any of the water since it could harm nearby plants or grass.
In case there are any weeds in gravel or cracks, pour some extra bicarbonate of soda on top of the area after pouring the boiling water to help prevent new growth.
If there are any weeds growing on your lawn or flowerbeds, avoid this method. Instead, try mulching them with grass cuttings, as this is a better way to smother them without damaging your garden.
